Back from Minneapolis

Busy, but in a restful way, overall....

Last week was...
Monday- Passover at Alyse's family's
Tuesday- Passover at Alyse's family's (different family)
Wednesday- friend spending the night (non-stressful, to say the least)
Thursday- Drive into Glencoe in the morning then take train to work from there. Get off work in the afternoon, take train to Glencoe and meet Alyse and family, then drive to Minneapolis to visit my mom.
Friday- go shopping and visiting with Mom and Alyse's family.
Saturday- Go shopping and visiting more.
Sunday- Easter, do Easter things (which wasn't nearly as stressful as the first two days
Monday- get up, pack van, have breakfast/lunch (I slept late) then drive back to Glencoe. Get car, drive home.

The actual time in Minneapolis wasn't too stressful... And the trips up and back were much less stressful than they could have been. Felt like we were running like maniacs on Friday and Saturday, though I got to sleep until I woke up all weekend, and even took naps on a couple of days. I had a good time overall, and I definately feel more rested than I did around Thursday of last week, which is good.

As for not telling anyone in MN that we were going to be there... This is the first time that I've been to my mom's in nearly a year. If we'd made plans to do anything that didn't involve her, the guilt would have been laid on QUITE thick, and I didn't want to deal with that. 8)
